When are measure words used? I have seen nouns written with and without their respective measure
words, so I'm confused about their usage.

This web page has the best explanation I've come across so far.

Thanks!
To quote the article: "It is obligatory to use a measure word when a numeral, a demonstrative
pronoun, or an interrogative pronoun qualifies a noun."

You're welcome. That's a good way to summarize it.

Still, there are exceptions, such as 年, 天, 寸, etc.
So you would use a measure word for a month (一个月), but not for days and years (一年,
一天). This page has a list with some of them: http://www.ctcfl.ox.ac.uk/Grammar ex...sure

It seems measure words are to be used when you are studying in school. Other than that... it seems
like many situations when in country, people don't use them.
